6.1 INTRODUCTION

The External Dosimetry program at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is the same 

program that existed at Hanford subsequent to 01/03/1965 when Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI) 

assumed responsibility for operation of the Hanford Laboratories and certain Hanford-wide services 

and functions as part of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) operations at the Hanford site. Since 

that is the case, it has been determined that any dose reconstructions that incorporate the dose 

received by PNNL employees as a result of external exposure to radiation will be determined based 

on the programs described in the corresponding Hanford TBD (ORAUT (Oak Ridge Associated 

Universities Team), 2004, Technical Basis Document for the Hanford Site – Occupational External 

Dosimetry, ORAUT-TKBS-00006-6, Oak Ridge, Tennessee).
